While the art styles are DEFINITELY similar, it's really hard to say who came up with the "original concept". Obviously, the Wii and PS2 versions will require characters and objects with a lower Polygon count than the other versions, to keep everything running smoothly without slowdown. So, while this may be the reason they went with more "cartoony"-looking characters, it IS hard to deny the similarity between the two art styles. Hopefully, at the very least, Dapper Dan will at least recieve a credit for "concept art" or something. It is encouraging that Red Fly at least contacted him. Hopefully it is a good sign that they will give him a little credit, for "inspiration", if nothing else. This is a really iffy issue.

It would be a shame if we got our Ghostbusters game with the knowledge a die-hard fan was cheated. By the way, a note to Dapper Dan... Is there any-way you can make your artwork higher-res for desktop wallpaper. That would be greatest thing to look at all day! Based on what I have seen so far, he obviously needs to be credited.

I woke up with a massive headache myself of the "feels like a thousands needles pressing down on your head" kind. As for the topic at hand, I sure hope he does get credit for part of it seeing as how it seems pretty obvious that they did infact use his work as a starting point. Speaking of which, I wonder just exactly when we're finally going to get some previews of the Wii version of the game. Sorry to hear that you were ill.
